G. T. Grayson, manager of Dennis
Ryan's farm at Kennedy, Kittson county,
was in st. Paul, and talked about the
wheat crop OF the Red river valley. He
said: 1--WE have had the best.kin OF wealth
er for raising wheat the past year, and the
large yield shows it. I AIN afraid the
acreage will be greatly decreased another
year as the farmers are SO busy getting
their wheat threshed and marketed that
they have had no time to do fall plowing.
There is great trouble up our way to get
cars enough to ship wheat. On Mr.. Ryan's
farm we had 8, 500 acres in wheat and it
averages over twenty five bushels to the
acre, making in all about 22S, 900 bushels.
The price is 60 cents, great difference
from the $1.25 we got in the years gone by.
But high prices for wheat thing of the
past. We must raise wheat for 60 cents or
less from now on. l believe the farmers
can do it now and make money"
